Wildmans nap won it in a canter,fav Moonlight Boy was unrideable,just went way right around the turns and the flights.

By:
I suppose the Roche horse will be routine dope tested?, ran as if it didnt know where it was, there is going out to the right but that was as extreme as it gets.
|

By:
Agree re Lukes Pa and callit - won easy the last day - decent price today
Nice nap by the wildman |

WD ned buntline has a useless pedigree for a jumps horse, compared to MALLOWNEY whos a well bred type by the formidable OSCAR.

nice call w.r

Thats 2 soft graded races that Mullins found for Briar Hill, I'd have absolutely no problem opposing this guy once the competition hots up, pity Apache Stronghold was withdrawn at Navan as I was looking forward to having a nice bet on him to beat Briar Hill that day.

By:
good call tony it was a ridiculous price anyway..
|
|
By:
Very Wood being aimed at the handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse won by similarly tenderly ridden Quito De La Roque before he won it?
|
|
By:
agreed kav,..price far too short for what its done..im not a layer..very rare for me..but that was a nap..imo..(easy with hindsight I know)
|
|
By:
hes being aimed at something apart from today for sure dv...one to keep an eye on

The Crawfords are one shrewd outfit.. Operating at well over a 50% strikerate in the last 14 days..

got word for martin's horse in the last this morning,was told it would piss in.
|
|
By:
Regardless if you thought Chiltern Hills was a lay Tony but it still should have run a lot better than that stinker today it was after all the 2nd fav? ,Kavvie maybe right probably up to no good with this fellow, some long term plan in the offing?.
Will the stewards even ask?. |
|
By:
When you got word this morning he was 7/2-3/1, 6/4 now. Considering you posted on the giggy thread a few hours earlier tis a bit late to be saying it now,if indeed you got word for it at all and are now only following the market. Rat

You got a great imagination Silver.
|
|
By:
Why would I need an imaginaton arkle surely questions need to be asked when a 2nd fav is pulled up before they barely went halfway around?
|
|
By:
Half the horses running in most races not off a yard and you never say a word. WM runs one of his worst animals and you are asking questions. Have you never wondered how come he wins so few handicaps relative to his non handicap wins while one has other establishments horses suddenly coming alive in big handicaps and not a squeak from you.
|
|
By:
Might not be his best but its certainly nowhere near his worst arkle, 2 runs ago this horse beat Cailin Annamh cosily the r/up is unbeaten in 4 starts since.

TOUGH going there today for both man and beast , call it aftertiming if ye want , backed the first winner , went down from the stands and took 3/1 about Gleesons , missed 10/30 , after noting the fav unship Walsh , the fav looked as if it was all a bit much for him , the strong breeze seemed to unsettle this fellow , you can forget this run from this lad ...Mallowney was very impressive and jumped like a stag , one to keep on the right side of in this type of race , more to come from this fellow ..Briar Hill was impressive , Ruby thought him a lot today , his jumping improved immensely , he was much quicker away from his hurdles today than previously ...He could be anything , and looks the sort to find more when asked ..
|
|
By:
Perhaps you should have a look at Cailin Annamh so rather than Chiltern Hills but you obviously dont see anything wrong with her form. Despite that result Cailin A is still rated about a stone higher (over hurdles) than Chiltern Hills which says plenty about that race. There may have been excuses for Cailin A for all we know that day but it is obviously not correct to judge Chiltern H on that run/result. I agree there should always be questions asked when a fancied one runs badly.
|
|
By:
Not sure what race you were watching if you thought Briar Hill was impressive...
|
|
By:
Even allowing for that arkle the horse has plenty of other form that would have given it every chance in todays race but ran like a hairy goat pulled up when the rank outsiders were still going, I didn't have a bet in the race but I guarantee many thousands in betting shops and on online backed the horse, might as well have wiped their backside with the docket before the race even started.
|
|
By:
I have to agree snap workriders idea of impressive is different to ours.
This wouldn't have went off anywhere near 25/1 for the Champion Bumper if they thought it was the real deal, most likely one of those flukes you see from time to time in racing?. |
|
By:
Snap , he did what he had to do today without been asked a serious question , read what i said , HE WILL ALWAYS FIND MORE WHEN ASKED , he is still on a learning curve ..You dont have to win doing handsprings to be impressive...
|

By:
I back many/plenty of WMs runners but Chiltern Hills would nearly be the last one of his I would touch and I made that decision way back and dont intend to ever back it in the future. I dont know you from Adam but its obvious you enjoy/love the sport and it is great that you highlight wrongs as you see them but it annoys me a little bit that WM and APOB can do no right in your eyes and yet every shyster in the sport can do whatever they like and we hardly ever hear a squeak from you. But I certainly dont lose any sleep over it either but I do enjoy the banter.

By:
Arkle cmon I'd be the first to get stuck into the likes of Byrnes, Martin, Elliot etc, but don't tell me that a Mullins is squeaky clean?, the name Mullins alone is synonymous with skullduggery.
I highlight the Coolmore and Mullins ones because everyone else sees no wrong in them , all I hear from punters and media alike is how wonderful they are. I guarantee you Chiltern Hills is an awful lot better than he showed today and this is far from an isolated case as regards the untouchable one. If Byrnes trained Chiltern Hills I bet there would've been a lot more reaction on this forum. |
|
By:
There may/may not have been more reaction had it been someone else's but it is unlikely that the reaction would have come from yourself. The best thing I can say is we will have to agree to differ.

By:
If being all out to beat Apache Jack is impressive in your book then fair enough, but imo if he comes up against anything with a modicum of ability in the near future he will be found out
|
|
By:
I see The Lilliewhites had a big win today I would have thought that might have cheered you up!
|
|
By:
Briar Hill reminds me of a Boston Bob type horse who will only ever do enough and will probably never win on the bridle,I'd say he's been expensive for the in running layers to date with his style of running/winning.
I haven't gone near it to date but while the jury is still out on its Festival Bumper success I would be loathe to lay it (particularly in running). |

You know arkle I forgot about that game, I heard the wind and rain howling outside my sitting room window so I cuddled up on the couch for the afternoon, not a competition I'm overly bothered about, personally I'd scrap it altogether if I had my way.

the name Mullins alone is synonymous with skullduggery. Any hard evidence to back-up this frankly ludicrous statement? |

Plenty of winners tipped up today well done all ...
I would defo be in agreement with workrider with regards Briar Hill ... Give me a horse that keeps finding for you anyday over a bridal horse .. How some people keep knocking a horse who is unbeaten including the cheltenham bumper with the likes of The Liquadator and Regal Encore behind is beyond me , just because ruby isn t swinging off him and he races lazily at times .... Trainer and Jockey are always at pains to say he works ordinary at home hence why he was probably 25/1 for the cheltenham bumper last year ..... |
